She had a lovely and distinctive voice, she was a dedicated and loving mother, she’s one of the sounds of our youth.
She could have been a superstar, but she left the career behind to care for her daughter, Valerie Rose, born with hydrocephalus. She had soul, on and off the stage.
Recurring Nightmare 
Yes,she dropped fame and celebrity to take care of her severely disabled daughter who died at age 31.
She had a beautiful voice and will be missed.
We see so many “celebrities”who are literally dirt and here a good and kind talented lady went through some really bad stuff in her life not of her own doing.Who knows?
